Facing their first legitimate test of the tournament, Mexico failed to get a passing grade as they could only get a 2-2 draw versus Jamaica. The draw leaves Mexico in first place, but only because of goal difference. Mexico took a lead and looked the better team in the first half but once again faltered in the second and almost paid dearly.
Mexico opened the score when Diego Lainez sent a great cross to Daniel Lopez, who pressured the Jamaican defender to commit an own goal. Lainez was once again the main player for Mexico and was able to provide most of the danger.
